Starting Over From Square One

9/17/2018 I have officially moved into my new home for the next eight months in San Roque, Spain; I am no longer homeless! Wow is it beautiful. There’s a little café across the street called La Ermita. I live right next to the pool and gym, and attached to it there's a soccer field [...]

The Attack of the Spanish Animals

Date: 9/16/2018 I told my new roommate I’d move in with him on Monday. I wanted to take one day to relax and do absolutely nothing. I also wanted to enjoy one more night with air conditioning. Spain is fricken HOT! And it is unusual to have air conditioning here so I wanted to [...]

Starting My Spanish Life in San Roque

After arriving to Spain and recovering on the beach, it was time to figure out my life. The first thing on my list was to get out of the stone age and get a phone plan. I was afraid to leave my Airbnb without data. So I searched for my destination on Google Maps [...]

And My Wild Adventure to Spain Begins – Part Four

After my nice sleep that didn’t end up being too sweaty, I woke up and said my goodbyes to my Airbnb hosts. I stepped outside into the bright sun and enjoyed my first day-views of Marbella, Spain. I had the giant La Concha mountain before me, shooting straight up into the air, almost touching [...]

Life Lessons Taught By SpongeBob SquarePants

Stephen Hillenberg, the creator of Spongebob Squarepants, was a big reason why I pursued writing. I always admired his journey from a marine biologist to becoming a famous cartoon writer. But not just a cartoon writer, the creator of one of the greatest shows of all time. And it’s the simplicity of the creative [...]

An Author’s Goal of Dreaming, Believing, and Pursuing

Dream. Believe. Pursue. This motto has gotten me through all the negativity and hardship that has come with following my passion. It was what kept me on track when family, friends, and my conscious told me to focus more on my stable engineering career. However, I knew deep down, I did not want that [...]

The First Year Accomplishments of Junkland

And the birthday celebrations continue! I'm not going to lie, the one year anniversary of Junkland came out of no where for me. Especially with it mixing into my big move to Spain. I just can't grasp the thought that it really has been one whole year. And what a year it has [...]
